Fertilization, defined cross

Such a population will approach equilibrium where F = (1 — a)/(l + ) (2). The parameter a defines the binomial frequency for cross-fertilization, and (1 — a) defines the frequency for self-fertilization. The population can now be described in terms of its reproductive mode (3)—viz.,... 

We should then ask What is the alternative to the conventional Fourier processing and fitting approach First, it is necessary to properly define the task of quantification in MRS. This entails the determination of metabolite concentrations that are the norms and then the identification of various patferns of deviation from normal as indicative of cancer versus other, nonmalignant disease processes. Here is the role for clinical interpretation. Realization of this task will be greatly facilitated by a broader view. Namely, to provide cross-fertilization about how spectral analysis, which is quantification, has been successfully achieved in other branches of science. Mathematics is the key, with rational response functions being the leading tool. The Fade approximant is especially well suited since it uniquely solves the quantification problem. In this chapter, we have provided clinically-relevant examples of the performance of the FPT. We have handled fully controlled problems with synthesized FIDs that were based on actually measured data.
